Did LeBron James return to Cleveland because he was inspired by Carmelo Anthony? That's what Anthony thinks. And if you are confused by that, the Knicks' star says there's a simple explanation.
The Knicks have been holding camp at their training center in Greenburgh in recent years after having it in Saratoga in former coach Mike D'Antoni's first two seasons in 2008 and '09.
The Knicks have added four assistant coaches to first-year coach Derek Fisher's staff, hiring Jim Cleamons, Rasheed Hazzard, Brian Keefe and Joshua Longstaff.
